I’ve been trying with many kind of macaroon recipes for almost 2 days. In those recipes, there always seems like there is something that can go wrong. First tried, batter flow like a water, so I just dumped into the sink , 30 minutes latter I tried another recipes , it was look like a macaron , even not look perfect , I mean there was no "foot" as the real macaroon. But I still enjoyed eat all

A Second day, I tried bake another batch from a different recipes.. whoa.. all macaroons cracked, I couldn't even take from the paper. Well.. well .. you can call me "CRAZY" because .. after 3 times fail, I don't like to stop. So, with my last passion .. I try another recipes .. ulalalalaa... it's work .. !!!!
